We’re talking smart mouthed teen detective, Veronica Mars! Bill Friday (poet, baseball enthusiast, noir know-it-all) and I had so much to say that we split this conversation into 2 parts. In this first part, we discuss the first three seasons of the show (we go into season 4 and the movie in part 2). 

A few things we discuss in the episode:

• The problem of ‘cinematic’ television
• The many threads that came together to make Veronica Mars
• Whether or not we care about mysteries
• How the show got us hooked by not giving us too much information
• How Lily Cane lives on after death
